Carly's son, Boston, was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum when he was two years old. After studying the disorder I realized I had many of the same characteristics which had made me struggle and feel different my entire life. I hope to bring awareness and understanding about this growing diagnosis. I also hope to celebrate being different and treating others who may seem different as valuable member's of our society.
- Fireside, High School, College, Middle School Performance;
Carly developed anorexia nervousa when I was 12 years old and battled the disorder for more than 5 years. I hope to bring awarness of how the disorder can develop, particularly in pre-teens and middle and high school students and the dangers related to eating disorders. I also strive to bring hope that the disorder can be successfully conquered.
- Fireside Performance;
Carly battled selective mutism from kindergarten through 5th grade and also dealt with a fair amount of bullying. I hope to create more awareness of this disorder and more acceptance of people's differences. I also hope to inform parents and peers of how they can help those struggling with these issues.
- Elementary School Performance;
Carly has always been little but can pack a punch! She has pushed forward through her challenges to have a successful career and family and hopes to help others who are struggling to learn they can end up on top and accept being different.
